Actually this did not help me, may be because I have a little bit different problem
I'm able to get cheese to work, as well as gstreamer-properties test, but with a long delay. It take about a minute for picture to start showing in gstreamer-properties test, and even more on cheese. However after that period, camera works flawlessly. I'm getting several messages in /var/log/messages like these as video starts to appear: Nov 13 19:39:13 sevinc-laptop kernel: [ 497.941102] uvcvideo: device Acer Crystal Eye webcam requested null bandwidth, defaulting to lowest. Nov 13 19:39:29 sevinc-laptop kernel: [ 514.821494] uvcvideo: device Acer Crystal Eye webcam requested null bandwidth, defaulting to lowest. As I mentioned above, programs like ekiga, kopete, skype, luvcview works flawlessly. P.S. Messages above also appear once luvcvideo and other non-gstreamer apps started. cheese malfunctioning with UVCVIDEO webcams (was cheese doesn't show v4l2 > video output and disables output on gstreamer-based apps ran afterwards) > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290506 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > -- cheese malfunctioning with UVCVIDEO webcams (was cheese doesn't show v4l2 video output and disables output on gstreamer-based apps ran afterwards) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290506 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
